When I got off meth I gained like 50 lbs. The weight did not come off overnight. I took a lot of exercise and a lot of self discipline. I did lose the weight and felt great! (i used meal replacement shakes and ate regular food and walked 3.3 miles per day)
This time around I have gained 12 lbs. I am going to have to work out and lower my intake once again.
Don't ever go back. The trade off will NEVER work! I tried it back in the 90's. It almost ruined my life.
Just go to Weight watchers or something and get active. this can be done!
